You’ll need to play a total of four songs for Toadofsky throughout your journey, returning to Melody Bay at certain points after coming across song clues. Each song is eight notes long, and you’ll have to wait for the tadpole to get into the correct position before jumping on its back to assign it the appropriate note. When you complete a song, speak to Toadofsky for a reward.

Where to find the Safety Ring in Super Mario RPG

Safety Ring Super Mario RPG

There are a lot of useful accessories you can find throughout your journey in Super Mario RPG, but one that tends to be part of nearly any great party build is the Safety Ring. Whichever character you choose to equip this beloved (and relatively well-hidden) ring with will be granted a variety of useful effects -- not least of which is protection against all status effects. However, you'll need to make it about halfway through the game before you can pick it up, and we'll tell you exactly where below.
Where to find the Safety Ring
The Safety Ring is located within the Sunken Ship. If you've already completed this area, you can fast-travel back to it at any time during your adventure, though we'd recommend doing so sooner rather than later.

Make your way past the password puzzle and the subsequent boss, then continue forward until you reach a segment of the ship wherein many sections are underwater. You can take the whirlpools here to reach the bottom level, so do just that and continue pushing forward.

Super Mario RPG: Bowser’s Keep six doors guide

Super Mario RPG Bowser Six Doors

Super Mario RPG is a fairly easy game overall, but it does sport a few challenging spots throughout. As your journey nears its conclusion, you'll come to Bowser's Keep where you'll eventually stumble upon six doors that contain difficult courses behind them. If you're feeling a bit stuck at this location, here's everything you need to know about how to complete each of the six door challenges in Bowser's Keep.

Note that the challenge you receive behind each door is totally random, so there's no way to guarantee a specific challenge. But while you only need to complete four of the courses, we recommend hitting all six to ensure that you get all of the useful items contained within.
Puzzle Course No. 1

This puzzle course asks you to clear three rooms of brain-focused tasks.
First Room
The first room will involve a quiz wherein you are asked multiple questions about your adventure. The questions are randomly chosen from a pool of around 40 and should all be fairly simple if you've been following along with the story.
Second Room
In the second room, you are required to quickly count how many barrels are in the corner of the room and then choose from three options. You need to do this twice. Once again, the number of barrels is random.
Third Room
Upon reaching the third room, you need to pay attention to what the different characters tell you about their placement in a race, then choose the order in which you believe they placed.
Reward
You're rewarded with a Rock Candy after completing this course.

How to get to Grate Guy’s Casino in Super Mario RPG

Casino entrance in Super Mario RPG

Like many role-playing games, Super Mario RPG features plenty of fun secrets to find as you journey through its world. One of these secrets is the Grate Guy's Casino, which will require you to do some jumping in a very specific place to unlock an incredibly well-hidden passage. If you're looking to play the slots or kick back with some Blackjack, we'll tell you how to find your way to this super secret spot.
How to get to Grate Guy's Casino
There are two steps required to reach the Grate Guy Casino.
Get the Bright Card
The first step to reaching Grate Guy's Casino is obtaining the Bright Card, as you'll be unable to enter without it. To find this item, make your way to Booster's Tower. As you ascend the tower, you'll eventually come across a juggling character named Knife Guy, who will challenge you to a game that requires you to pick which hand he's holding a yellow ball in after he finishes juggling. You'll need to win twelve times in a row before he'll eventually reward you with the Bright Card. It's fairly easy to figure out which hand the yellow ball has landed by simply watching which direction it was moving when the juggling stops, so it shouldn't pose too much of an issue.
Find the secret entrance
With the Bright Card in hand, your goal is now to find Grate Guy's Casino. To do so, you'll need to head over to Bean Valley and walk to the center of this area to find a collection of pipes that you can go down to reach various underground sections. Go down the northernmost pipe and engage the Chain Chomp here in battle. Afterward, you'll need to jump three times in the corner where the Chain Chomp was before you defeated it, which will reveal an extraordinarily well-hidden block that you can jump to that will allow you to reach the top of the wall. Head through the exit here.

When you emerge on the other side, go into the house and approach the two doormen. They won't let you pass without the Bright Card, but since you've found it already, you'll be free to pass through into the casino. Inside, you'll find three games you can play: Slots, Blackjack, and a guessing game that requires you to look in the opposite direction that the person points. Compete in any of these as many times as you'd like and have fun!
